I’ve been a wild rover for so many a year              and I’ve spent all my money in whiskey and beer            but now I’m returning with gold in great store           and I will never play the wild rover no more...    Chorus: And it’s no nay never!!!                        No nay never no more     will I play the wild rover! No never no more! I went into an ale-house I used to frequent             and I told the landlady my money was spent                 I asked her for credit she answered me "Nay            such a customer like you I can have any day"...     Chorus I drew from my pocket ten sovereigns bright             and the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight           she said "You’ll have whiskeys and wines of the best     and the words that I told you were only in jest"... Chorus I’ll go home to my parents and confess what I’ve done   and I’ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son              and when they forgive me as of times before            sure I will never play the wild rover no more...   Chorus x 2
